Upload!

New tank called the Fast As Light 2-in-1 Tank. I'm not sure why it's 2-in-1 since none of the text or photos indicate you can separate the bra from the outer singlet. I like this tank since it looks like it has a more supportive bra and it's made of super breathable fabrics but it's a bit too sheer for my comfort level. If the top portion had been made of circle mesh, I probably would have bought it, even at its $68 US price. The tank comes in True Red, Black, and Greyvy.

New Pace Rival Crops in Hounds Camo Emperor Blue/Black print (the print is backed in purple) and True Red. I just read a rumor that the Pace Rivals are being retired, too. Anyone know if that is true? I hope not, I like these run crops even better than the Inspires. I have nine pairs and ordered the purple camo ones today. I hope this new print is the nylon/lycra fabric and not the poly blend full on luxtreme. Update - I messaged the manager at my local store and she had not heard this rumor and said she doubted the would retired the PRs. I think the comment referred to the Pace Rival skirt.

New Swiftlys is True Red/Black and Sapphire/Black. I'm not a fan of the swiftly colors that are mixed with black so these are an easy pass for me.

The Power Purple LS Swiftly is calling my name but I have a PP Runbeam LS so I can live without it.

I tried on the new CRB 2 today and actually really like it- I think it's a good improvement. I own a million crbs, but do find the neckline a little low cut and am often adjusting. The new cut has a slightly higher neckline that fits perfectly. The skinnier racerback is cute and the length is still plenty long. You can't pull it over your butt like the original, but it still hits at low hip (and I'm 5'7). So I am a fan of this update!

LLA, try out the tank. I got the Swiftly so I had to pass on it. I have too much skin show phobia too, but it actually isn't bad at all. I tried the black on. I was so torn and had to keep telling myself SeaWheeze is coming. It's probably the most comfortable tank with bra I've ever had on. Not sure why they call it 2 in 1 either. They can't be separated.

I also tried on the CRB 2 and it looked hideous on me. Even the super friendly educator said that the original version looked sooo much better on me. I'm a size 4 in the original and the CRB 2 was too tight in the same size. The size 6 was too baggy and looked sloppy. I am disappointed but I will probably save loads of money instead of spending them on LLL!

I went back for the True Red Tracker Shorts and a black CRB (in my size up, since I'm carrying some extra weight right now). I wear my other black CRB all the time, more for regular wear versus work-out wear.

Anyone know how emperor blue compares to hero blue? The emperor blue all the right places crops look nice, but I already have the hero blue pace rival crops. In fact that's what stopped me from getting the inkwell speed crops too, though I love speed crops. These 3 colors seem super similar.

omgosh you'll never convince me that the CRB ii is an improvement. I will not buy it. I have a nice back but I'm sorry, that skimpy new racerback lessens the versatility and appeal of the tank. I don't find the CRB i front too low at all (I am light busted though, easily supported by a FTB). Good thing I do have a stock of CRB i.

No purchases for me. The only way I would touch True Red (if it really is) is if it came in CRB i. I will NOT pay the increased prices for Swiftly tops. I have a number of ss and ls (all are snag free) and those will do for me as well.

I love that LLL is coming out with more crop tops lately… just wish they would bring back more white leggings! So sad I missed out on those 2 uploads. Got the Cruiser Cropped Long Sleeve in black and All The Right Places Crop II in True Red! This upload was pretty good IMO

I love crop tops and white bottoms too! But not that palm print. I wish I hadn't missed beyond boundaries but I got the other two this year! My rule with Lulu is I only buy it if I absolutely LOVE it- and the only thing I want this upload is the grey cruiser cropped. I just think it's a little too short in back but we'll see!

I bought a gorgeous pair of white print leggings by Nux a few weeks ago. Nice thick luon-like material, and they aren't see-thru at all. I'm thinking of taking my $$ over to them for another pair or trying Alo.

I could go for those warp purple WU pants for fall..but given that WU pants haven't been flying off the shelves lately I might wait a few weeks and see if they make their way to WMTM, this feels like a print that will end up there and I'd rather not pay full price. While I like the true red pace rivals I'm feeling a little apprehensive about pulling the trigger, I'll wait and try them in person when I'm in store. Nothing I can't live without and given that I'm a tiny annoyed at their price hikes, I might not get anything this week.

upload looks good. most likely because they know they annoyed so many people with the price increases. so now they are like, look how many beautiful clothes we have made for you, now give us that money.

So glad there was a CRB discontinuation scare about a year ago which caused me to panic early and stock up. So sad to see it go (online only we all know what that means ...RIP Scuba). I loved the longer length and thought the neckline was perfect with FTB and FTBW bras which is what I always wear it with. Also that skinny back does not look as good in my opinion!

I bought the hottie hot shorts in purple after seeing them today on this blog. Such a great color! I'm so glad they came out with a longer version of the short becuause the short version is superrr short.
